Here you shine.

Community,
You are born of love.
Two hearts within
are the little you need to begin,
and so long as your soul is love,
you will grow.

Only do not fear the soft glow
poking from your ribcage,
and do not become a clannish constellation.
Do not shun oddly twinkling stars,
and do not exile them to sputter far away in sadness.

Who else might belch out the moon?
and who in turn will spill out the night's pale hyacinth
that makes lovers swoon and miraculously stops the darkness?

Search the night, and listen to her silence
flickering to pluck beauty from sorrow,
and see that in order for luminaries to shine
they must be together,
as there must be darkness between them.

And do not marvel at the water upon the face of the moon.
Her eternal teardrop,
her lonely ancestral memory in a puddle,
the perfume of anti-dreamers.

Look instead to the tides she pulls below
for lovers and friends who walk along the shore,
because she knows that for first kisses to happen upon the seashore
the ocean must run away and return.
And the waters know to dance softly.

Community,
you must softly dance and tremble together.
You are born of love.
Here you shine.
